1 I exhort you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, your reasonable service: 2 and he not fashioned after this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. 3 For I speak, through the grace which has been given unto me, for every one who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, as God has imparted to each one the measure of faith. 4 For we indeed have many members in one body, but all the members have not the same office: 5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and members one of another. 6 But having gifts differing according to the grace given unto us, whether prophecy, it is according to the analogy of faith; 7 or ministry, it is in the ministry; or he that teacheth, in teaching; 8 or he that exhorteth, in exhortation; or he that giveth, with a single eye; he that presideth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness. 9 Let love be free from hypocrisy. Abhorring the evil, cleaving to the good: Romans 12:1-9, Godbey New Testament. Public domain.
